Guys, you know the whole “James’ type is people who are mean to him” thing?
I think it’s because they make him feel like a real person.
I am forever pushing the “James struggles with feeling like a real person agenda” and I think that initially Lily/Regulus genuinely didn’t like him as a person and that is what made him initially attracted to them. James is one of those “everyone loves him, he’s a literal ball of sunshine” people. But James is nothing if not a people pleaser so he’s always trying to be someone that people like and sometimes he’s not sure that the person he is, is real or just an act.
But they don’t like the person that he shows everyone (because they can subconsciously feel that something is off with James). And no one (excluding Snape and people he doesn’t like because he’s not performing for them) has ever told James that they don’t like him.
So he tries to win both of them over but it doesn’t work because he’s trying to win them over with this not-real-person side of himself and he only wins them over once they see the real James. So by not liking this fake person and seeing through his mask they’re inadvertently helping him learn how to be himself and not be putting on a show all the time.
We all know James Potter would have been a swift
But what about regulus???
He giggles and kicks his feet to love story
He has Paper Ring stuck in his head everytime he's even in the same room as James
Evermore makes him feels things
He'll never admit it to anyone tho
I know as a fandom we have collectively agreed that James = sun, Sirius = star and Remus = moon but I just saw this and instantly thought of Peter as the cloud since the cloud takes away the sun and blocks the moon and star from view of each other just like Peter took away James and kept Sirius and Remus from each other. Also, clouds bring a downfall of rain just as Peter brought about the downfall of the marauders

Remus always knows...
James rambling about who he's falling for, and everyone thinks it's Lily until he slips up and says "he" and Regulus, who had been desperately ignoring it looks up at him. Just in time to see James go crimson and run away
"-just so fucking perfect, you know?"
James Potter's voice carried through the stacks of the library as Regulus paused, listening intently from his now-hiding space, staring at the words on his open book but not taking in a single syllable.
"I just...I feel like I'm invisible. Like no matter what I do, I'll never be worthy. Like, why is it the one person I fancy just thinks nothing of me, Moony? Like...just looks right through me?"
Regulus snorted a bit, unable to hear Remus Lupin's much quieter response. Of course Potter was still waxing poetic about Evans. of course he couldn't let her go. Of course.
"I know, but I just- there's nobody more amazing! So...smart, and...and gorgeous!"
More murmuring, then some shuffling as Potter and Lupin sat at a table nearby, now within Regulus's line of sight. He stared more intensely at his book, still listening closely.
"No, I...Moony, it's not just a crush. I can't even describe how I feel. Like, whenever we look at each other...I'm just...I just feel better, you know? Like I'm like light or something. It's so stupid and cheesy, I know, but I just..."
Potter's voice trailed off and Regulus chanced a glance up to see the taller boy also looking at him. Feeling himself go red all over, he quickly looked back at his book, feigning indifference.
But then Potter continued, his voice airy and distracted, as if he was almost drunk.
"Merlin, he's just so beautiful."
And at that, Regulus' couldn't help but glance's eyes snapped back up to meet James's. Because the words seemed to come from James's mouth quite without his permission. And both of them seemed to realize at the same time that James had said 'he.'
And then, before Regulus could react, James turned bright red and stuttered something about Quidditch practice before running off, leaving Regulus to stare incredulously at Remus.
"....Well. He's clearly not talking about Lily," Remus grinned, smirking at Regulus and walking away.

I'm always happy to make friends and am always open to talk for my mutuals.
I also try to always add people back.
Sirius and James would text harrys kids while they were at hogwarts and when James Sirius starts using abbreviations, they try it too. They abbreviate EVERYTHING. So much that their messages make no sense. Remus new how to use abbreviations and understand James and Sirius' tho so we're all fine.
Sirius: Hey, mfns hrudt?
James Sirius: Huh?
James Sirius: Moony? What does mfns hrudt mean?
Remus: padfoot messaged u?
James Sirius: yup
Remus: it means, my favourite name sake, how r u doing today, I believe.
James: hello, gs!
James Sirius: Gs?
James: Grandson!
James Sirius: ...no...please no
Inspo from messaging my dad and using the abbreviation, tbh, then proceeding to spend an hour explaining it...
